Speaker 4: Man.

34
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, I probably shouldn't even be

35
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 2: saying this, but I felt bad about this for years

36
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: and I just need to tell somebody to get this

37
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:21,559
Speaker 2: off my chest.

38
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,640

00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

40
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, a few years ago, I worked at a

41
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 2: residential home with foster kids.

42
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 3: Oh oh god, okay, let me get the Kleenex ready,

43
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 3: so this is going.

44
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: To make our They were really sweet, sweet kids. There

45
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: were about six or seven of them, and then when

46
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: Halloween would come around, that was always a challenge because

47
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 2: they had very specific needs about what they wanted to

48
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: be and how they wanted to look.

49
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: Totally, Yeah, isn't that annoying?

50
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 5: It would be like every other kid and get an

51
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 5: awesome costume. You know that should be available to all kids.

52
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 5: It's such a magical thing of childhood.

53
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally agree. You know, we had donated costumes

54
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 2: at the foster home, but they really didn't care for them,

55
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: and they had their own ideas that one wanted to

56
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 2: be a dinosaur, one wanted to be a wolverine. Oh yeah, Okay,

57
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: either wanted to be a unicorn spider or a spider unicorn.

58
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 3: See, this is the time where you say, hey, kids,

59
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 3: sometimes you can't be what you want to be.

60
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 5: Well, you don't hit that, ever, Sometimes sometimes kids.

61
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 3: Need to be hit with the harsh realities of the

62
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: economic reality of what's going on.

63
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 5: And how would a spider and a unicorn mate anyway?

64
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, So if you don't want to have that conversation

65
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 3: with your four year olds, I'll step.

66
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 5: In and do it for you.

67
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 4: You can always reach out to the show.

68
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 5: I don't think your volunteer application is getting a Yeah,

69
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 5: but you you.

70
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 3: Sound like you actually want to do something for these

71
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 3: kids though.

72
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally. But we didn't have a lot of money

73
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: in the foster program. Yeah, and you know, I realized

74
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: if I wanted to make them truly happy, I was

75
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 2: going to have to get a little creative and maybe

76
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 2: been a few rules, so to speak.

77
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 4: Okay, I was.

78
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,240

00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 4: That is as, Actually, how did you get creative? Davis?

84
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: I'm not too proud of this, but that year I

85
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: went to a Spirit you know those Spirit Halloween stores.

86
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, never heard of it.

87
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: I saw a kid's t Rex costume and luckily, you know,

88
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit of a big guy, so you know,

89
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 2: I took the dinosaur costume out of the bag and

90
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 2: I stuffed it up into my Uh oh.

91
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 5: You just shoplifted.

92
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I was stealing for charity.

93
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 5: I mean, you're the Robin Hood.

94
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: Of Spirit, so you you stole the costume.

95
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: Well, borrowed. I was going to borrow it. I mean

96
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: it worked. I was able to walk out with the

97
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 2: borrowed costume. I did it for all six kids costumes.

98
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: Oh wow, hopefully not all at the same time.

99
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 2: No, I had to get creative. How I did it?

100
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 2: Like one of the costumes, I stepped inside a hollowed

101
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: out plastic pumpkin and I bought. I bought the pumpkin.

102
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 5: Okay. And I feel like this confession is just giving

103
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 5: all of our listeners shoplifting ideas.

104
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, good ideas.

105
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, discount Well.

106
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 2: I hope not. But the employee didn't notice, which is

107
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 2: a good thing. The employees are usually teenagers anyway, and

108
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: they don't really care, so it's probably easier than it

109
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: should have been.

110
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 5: Have you heard of gofund me or I feel like it?

111
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 5: Quick up fund me for six Halloween costumes would have

112
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 5: been a legal route or a thrift store. They're filled

113
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 5: with Halloween costumes.

114
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 2: These kids, I mean, they really wanted these certain things,

115
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: but just to see, like their faces. When I bought

116
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 2: them their costumes, the one they actually wanted, it was

117
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: like the happiest I've ever seen it.

118
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 3: Did you pull them out from underneath your sweater when

119
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 3: you showed it to them?

120
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 2: Too? No? I had.

121
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 5: You keep saying you borrowed them. Did you bring him

122
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 5: back after Yeah?

123
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: I brought them back.

124
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 3: No, he didn't just dumped them in a pile outside

125
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 3: of the front door.

126
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,239
Speaker 5: You returned some like muddy costumes that were already worn.

127
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 2: They were look that bad.

128
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 3: But Brooke the foster kids, think of the happy foster kids.

129
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 5: I understand the cause is great.

130
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 4: Yes, but.

131
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 3: Other rout Brooks friends with the CEO of Spirit Halloween,

132
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 3: so she's really upset about this.

133
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 5: You know me, I'm also against store bock costumes.

134
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's terrible for a book.

135
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 3: But you know, it was definitely not a good thing

136
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 3: that you did, but it was for a good reason.

137
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, you have a good heart. Yeah. But next year,

138
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 5: Brooke offers to di y all the kids costumes for you.

139
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 5: She's gonna make it spray pay and masking tape. We

140
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 5: do wonders.

141
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you're going to have to shoplift the spray

142
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 3: paint in the masking tape.

143
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 4: That's it.

144
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 3: And then do you feel better at least being able

145
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 3: to tell somebody?

146
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean it felt good just to give these

147
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 2: kids one good Halloween. And it feels good now just

148
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,279

149
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,600

150
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,200
